Description: Burton AK 2L LZ Down Snowboard Jacket

Sparks of warmth are what you need on a sub-zero day, and with the Burton AK 2L LZ Down Snowboard Jacket for men you will be living it up. Promising to keep you going through rough terrain, low temperatures and high altitudes, this jacket never quits. Packed with features you need to maximize your riding time and ability, this jacket offers a huge amount of warmth with the Ultra-Premium 650 Goose Down Fill that keeps you toasty and smiling. An extra down-proof lining, along with fully taped seams that use Gore-Seam tape, and a Gore-Tex outer repel any moisture and keep you dry and safe and ready to ride.

Ok, the good is that this coat is ridiculously warm so if that is what you are going for this is the right jacket. However, it's not as waterproof as I would like.

Lastly, I can't help but notice that some of the snaps, buttons and zippers seem to be quite cheap and I have already busted one of them on the first wear. I have had 3 previous AK jackets and the craftsmenship on those cheaper AK jackets is far better than this one appears to have. I might be being harsh, but if I spend $500 on a jacket I expect it to be top quality all around.

I still love it, but can't help thinking Burton's quality on this particular AK piece should be much better given the price.

BEST ANSWER:I'm pretty sure it's from early 2015 basically one year ago. I bought it on clearance a few months ago at the end of 2015, I think it was December 2015 and they were making way for the new upcoming 2016 apparel lines. It is by far one of the best purchases I've ever made, unbelievable quality, kept me very warm and cozy this season, prob didn't even need thermals underneath for a lot of days, and wasn't too heavy or bulky. Has vents if you get too hot. It may look like it doesn't have many pockets but it has 4 nice size pockets that offered plenty of storage all in the right places. Good protection for your neck and a waist line fitting that hugs your waste and keeps the cold out, Velcro attachments over the zipper for extra protection. Absolutely no water penetrated the jacket, I could lay back in the snow to take a break and didn't have to worry about cold or water penetrating, it actually felt good to lay in the snow. I'll definitely have this jacket for years to come, you will not regret making this purchase. I also bought the Burton AK 3L Snowboard Pants which were just as awesome and the Burton goretex under men's mittens. I would get mittens vs gloves bc your hands stay a lot warmer with mittens and you can still grip perfectly. Zero complaints and I know they will last for years.
